那麼我先給大家看我今天到底發什麼樣的禮物給大家。這些禮物呢就是這邊臺僑團體做的。很可愛啊。臺灣，這是一個小別針，臺灣。然後一個小女孩，她抱著臺灣和抱著這個珍珠奶茶。很可愛。覺得蠻值得的。就才一個國家就有這麼可愛的別針。
好，首先，謝謝你們各位同意參與我的節目。我這裡有一面旗子，你們想拿的話可以拿著。這是哪個國家的旗子，這就是問題。好。我第一眼看不出來。可以先給我們一個提示嗎？亞洲，它在亞洲。我再給你們第二個提示，它是一座島。島，印尼？不，不是印尼，但它離印尼很近。你們應該往北邊找，它介於日本和菲律賓之間，在地理上。而且它的開頭是字母T。臺灣？是臺灣沒錯，就是臺灣。太棒了。那這樣我得給你們兩份禮物。太棒了。這裡有一些小徽章。哦，好可愛。你看，有珍珠奶茶，來自臺灣。哦，真的嗎？它是在臺中這個城市發明的。還有微晶片，臺灣以微晶片聞名。你們可能也知道那臺灣和中國之間有衝突。我知道，中國認為那是他們的一部分領土，而臺灣想要……他們想要成為獨立的個體。我知道他們之間有極大的緊張關係，中國會攻擊他們，而且……是的，你們是哪裡人？希望不是攻擊。我來自喬治亞。俄羅斯。喬治亞、俄羅斯，好。我們兩國之間也有緊張關係，希望人民之間沒有任何緊張。但你覺得如果臺灣人民，他們想要獨立自主，全世界的人都應該支援他們嗎？我其實不知道，因為我沒辦法回答這個問題，因為我不瞭解臺灣的歷史。因為舉例來說，在喬治亞，也有一個部分叫做阿布哈茲，它從喬治亞分離出去，而它仍然算是喬治亞，就像我們認為它是喬治亞的一部分，但他們只有喬治亞這一小部分，說他們是獨立國家，而他們受到俄羅斯極大的影響。對，他們受到支援，沒錯。所以想像一下，如果我不知道完整的歷史，而我會說，對啊，阿布哈茲去吧。但既然我來自喬治亞，我知道那些背景故事，還有這種分離主義之類的，我沒辦法對臺灣說出一樣的話，在不瞭解整件事來龍去脈的情況下。
你大概知道中國的歷史，內戰的歷史吧？蔣介石和中共。臺灣的問題在於，它以前是日本統治的，對，然後是中華民國政府來了，然後他們輸了內戰，然後他們全都搬到那裡。所以中國的共產黨政府，他們從未統治過臺灣，他們從未控制過臺灣。所以，你可以把它想成東德和西德，但德國是不是不願意加入西方？德國，還是德國不願意加入東德？因為時間過了，時間已經過了這麼久，而他們只是認為他們想過自己的生活。但中國說不行，你是我領土的一部分，你是我勢力範圍的一部分，你應該屬於我。你有什麼看法？你支援獨立，還是？我也不……某種程度上，那樣說跟臺灣沒什麼關係，而且，我的意思是，這樣說不太好，但它很遠，而我沒有參與那些政治的事情，你知道嗎？比如說，我沒辦法為那個國家投票，比如說，我不知道如果俄羅斯發生了什麼事，多少會影響到我。但我住在這裡，而既然那是，我沒有在那裡投票，我沒有某種程度上參與。臺灣會影響到你。臺灣絕對會，全世界都該意識到微晶片這件事。你有手機，像是微處理器、RAM、微晶片，所有東西都來自臺灣。其次，它也……它更與太平洋地區相關，但現在臺灣與美國的關係非常好。如果臺灣成為中國的一部分，中國將對整個太平洋擁有更大的影響力，就像那裡有潛艦，什麼都有，基本上能影響就像整個西方、西、西……西方世界。所以就是這麼回事。但是，讓我這樣說，我希望有一天你們兩位能去臺灣看看，跟那裡的人聊聊，看看美麗的風景，看看他們真實的處境，然後你再自己做決定。我唯一能肯定說的是，沒有任何國家，無論大小，應該被迫加入某個大帝國，靠武力。是啊，身為喬治亞人你知道的，是啊。是啊，我完全站在那一邊，我支援那些被迫像被併吞的國家。併吞，是啊。那樣的話，當然，沒有任何國家應該被迫，但除此之外，我不知道，對。說得很好，謝謝你們，謝謝你們，祝你們有美好的一天。謝謝你。非常感謝。喬治亞語要怎麼說？喬治亞語的謝謝要怎麼說？Madlova。馬德洛娃。謝謝你，馬德洛娃。謝謝你。
你們是從波蘭來的，對吧？好，那請便，你們可以待在這裡。好，但我們會用英文錄影，可以嗎？我們從第一個開始：非常感謝你們執行了我的計劃。有哪些國家是這樣的？你們覺得呢？我不知道，這是一個像歐洲的國家嗎？不，不是歐洲國家，是亞洲國家。亞洲的？我剛才就是說，某個這個……這是個亞洲國家。我不知道，哈薩克。這是island。Island。島嶼。
而且它幾乎位在日本和菲律賓之間。而且它是以 T 開頭的。珍珠奶茶。Bubble Tea。開玩笑的，沒有。地理？地理。在日本和菲律賓之間。菲律賓。不，不是，這應該要再低一點。這是亞洲的，對吧？你有手機，裡面有一枚來自這個國家的晶片。他們以科技非常出名。所有以 T 開頭的國家。亞洲地理我這的不太好。而這不正是，怎麼說，不是這樣。不是哈薩克，所有這類國家。某種什麼國。不是那樣的東西。島，島，不是哈薩克啦。某個島。嗯。在菲律賓和日本之間，那一定是個島。對啊，是啊，可是……我不知道，但那裡有哪些國家是T開頭的？就是那個Bubble Tea，它以微晶片聞名。是T開頭的。那……Tai……泰國？不是。好，我還是會給你一個禮物。因為你們很認真地想了。對，對。這是什麼旗幟？給波蘭同事們的。再讀一次。喔，好。所以，這是什麼國家。對，這是臺灣。你還知道臺灣的什麼事嗎？嗯，我不知道。不，好。好，這麼說吧：臺灣與中國之間的關係……就是這樣，這就是……就像俄羅斯與烏克蘭一樣。我就是想這麼說，這就是……芬蘭與俄羅斯。對，對，因為來自中國的威脅非常大。那就沖掉吧，嗯，我記得，我們記得歷史。嗯，嗯。就像我說的，各位。那麼現在，各位你們知道。好，我們一定會記住了。好的，謝謝，我們繼續。非常感謝。謝謝，一切順利。再見。

Oh my god I have it wait it's. You probably know the place it's a famous country it's a famous place but the flag is not very well known so. No I've never seen the flag. it's definitely not Thailand that I know. It's not Thailand no.

Yeah it sounds similar to Thailand also Thai something. It's Taiwan! It is! It is Taiwan. do you know anything else about Taiwan yeah? Okay and I've never seen the flag before. It looks like that and okay. I will count it as a right. Really? Oh my god hell yeah!
And here's a little gift. Oh Taiwan super thank you very much! You probably know that China is claiming Taiwan as a part of their territory and they have beef with China and they want to stay their own thing, they want to stay independent. That's why I'm showing the flag, raising awareness, talking about Taiwan and just hope that more people know about this country. I used to live there for more than nine years, my wife is Taiwanese. Okay super. Very involved. It's very nice, you're spreading the good word and like so people know what's going on, that's very good. They have a very cool ambassador to Finland actually, he's a heavy metal star. Heavy metal star? Yeah yeah and right now he's an ambassador, yeah Freddie Lim. I have to check him up. Oh do do do the band is called Chthonic? Yeah. Okay super, I will definitely do that.
So first, let me show everyone what kind of gift I actually have for everyone today. These gifts were made by the Taiwanese community group here. They're so cute. Taiwan—this is a little pin, Taiwan. And then a little girl holding Taiwan and holding this bubble tea—so cute. I feel it's quite worth it. Just one country, and it has such a cute pin.
Alright first of all thank you guys for agreeing to take part in my show. And I have a flag here, you can hold it if you want to. And which country's flag this is, the question. Okay. I don't know from my first sight. Can we get a first hint for example? Asia, it's in Asia. And I'll give you the second one, it's an island. Island Indonesia? Not not Indonesia, but it's very close to Indonesia, you should go north. It's between Japan and the Philippines geographically. And it starts with the letter T. Taiwan? It is Taiwan, yeah, it is Taiwan. Nice. I'll have to give you two gifts then. Nice. There are little pins. Oh so cute. You see there is bubble tea comes from Taiwan. Oh really? It was invented in the town of Taichung. And also microchips, Taiwan is very well known for its microchips. And you probably also know that there is a conflict between Taiwan and China. I know. China thinks that it's part of their territory and Taiwan wants to They want to be their own thing. I know there is a huge tension between them. China is going to attack them and
Yes, where are you from guys? Hopefully not attacking. I'm from Georgia. Russia. Georgia, Russia, okay. And we also have a tension between our countries. Hopefully the people don't have any tensions. But do you think if Taiwanese people, they want to be themselves, that everyone in the world should support them? I don't know actually, because I cannot answer that, because I don't know the history of Taiwan. Because for example in Georgia, there is also part, it's called Abkhazia, which is separated from Georgia. And it's still Georgia like, we consider it Georgia, but they Only this small part of Georgia says that they are independent country, and they were hugely influenced by Russia. Yeah, they were supported, yeah. So imagine like, if I don't know the whole history and I would say like, yeah, go Abkhazia, but since I'm from Georgia and I know the backstory and this separatism and stuff, I cannot say the same thing about Taiwan without knowing the whole story how it happened.
You probably know the history of Chinese civil war right? The Chiang Kai-shek and CCP. The problem with Taiwan is, it used to be ruled by Japan. Yeah. And then the ROC Republic of China government came. And then they lost the civil war and they all moved there. So the communist government of China, they never ruled over Taiwan, they never controlled Taiwan. So you can think of it as East and West Germany, but East Germany not willing to join the West Germany, or West Germany not willing to join the East Germany? Because the time passed, the time has been so long and they just think that they want to live their own lives. But China says, no, you're a part of my area, you're a part of my sphere of influence, you should be mine. What's your opinion? Do you support independence or? I'm also not, kind of not related to Taiwan in that sense and I mean, it's bad to say this thing, but it's far away and I'm not participating in those political things, you know?
I can't vote for the country for example like I don't know for example if something happens in Russia it kind of affects me, but I'm living here and since that's I don't vote there I don't kind of participate. Taiwan will influence you, Taiwan definitely whole world to like realize on microchips. You have a phone like microprocessors RAM, microchips everything it comes from Taiwan. And secondly it's also, it's more Pacific related, but right now Taiwan is in very good relationships with the United States. If Taiwan becomes a part of China, will have much bigger influence on the whole Pacific. Like there are submarines there are everything can influence basically like the whole western west western world. So that's that thing.
But let me put it like that. I hope that one day both of you visit Taiwan, talk to the people there, see the beautiful scenery, see how they are in reality. And then you make up your mind. Only thing I can definitely say this. No country small or big one, should be forced to join some big empire by force. Yeah as Georgian you know that yeah. Yeah I totally on that side and I support the countries which are forced to like annexate. Annexation yeah. YeahIn that case for sure none of the countries should be forced, but otherwise I don't know yeah. Nicely said thank you thank you guys, enjoy your day. Thank you. Thanks so much.
How do you say it in Georgian? How do you say thank you in Georgian? Madlova. Spasibo madlova. Thank you.
You're from Poland, right? All right, so please, you can be here. OK, but we'll be recording in English, all right. Let's start with the first one: thank you very much for this, for carrying out my programs. What countries are like that? What do you think? I don't know, is it like a European country? No, not a European country, an Asian country. Asian? That's exactly what I was saying, that some kind of this... It is an Asian country. I don't know, Kazakh. It's an island. Island. An island. And it's almost between Japan and the Philippines. And it starts with the letter T. Bubble Tea comes from there. Bubble Tea. Yeah, it is. Geography? Geography. Between Japan and the Philippines. The Philippines. No, no, it should be lower. This is Asian, right? You have a phone, and there's a microchip that comes from that country. They are very famous for their technology. All the countries with T. I really don't know much about Asian geography. And this isn't exactly, like, not like that. Like just Kazakhstan, then all the states like that. Some kind of state. It wasn't something like that. Island, island, it's not Kazakhstan. Some island. Mhm. Between the Philippines and Japan, it has to be an island. No, not like that, but... I don't know, but which countries were there on T? It's Bubble Tea; it's well-known and comes from a microchip. It starts with the letter T. Uh... Tai... Thailand? No. Okay, I'll still give you a gift. For the attempts. Yes, yes. What flag is this? For the Polish people. Read it again. Ooh, okay. So, what country is this? Yes, that’s Taiwan. Do you know anything else about Taiwan? Mmm, I don't know. No, okay.
Okay, well let me put it this way: the relations between Taiwan and China... Well, that's exactly it, that it's... Just like Russia with Ukraine. Well, that's exactly what I wanted to say, that it's... Or Finland with Russia. Yes, yes, because there is a very big threat from China. Well, cast it aside, well, I remember, we remember it from history. No, no. As I said, ladies and gentlemen. And now, ladies and gentlemen. All right, we will certainly remember it now. We will certainly remember it now. All right, thank you, let's move on. Thank you very much. Thank you, all the best. Bye bye
